Why?

Every 29 seconds someone in the world is diagnosed with breast cancer.

One in seven women in Ireland is affected by breast cancer. The money you raise will go towards vital research and breast health awareness. Our aim is to transform breast cancer from sometimes being a fatal disease into a treatable illness for all.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Breast Cancer Ireland’s Tennis-a-thon?

The Tennis-a-thon is a fundraising activity where we ask participants to challenge themselves by playing tennis. This could be taking on a 24-hour tournament, asking friends to pay to play, or challenging each other to smash the fastest serve. The main aim is to help raise vital funds and awareness by playing tennis.

When is the Tennis-a-thon and where can I take part?

The Tennis-a-thon takes place throughout June and July. You can choose to hold the event on a specific date, across a weekend or even make it a month-long challenge. If you can’t find a date in July, don’t worry – you can take part on another date that suits you. Your Tennis-a-thon can take place anywhere: at your local tennis court, in the park or at a sports centre – wherever suits your challenge. Don’t forget to book a court or space! Why not let your local tennis club or council know about your fundraising event to ask if they can allocate free court space for the day?

I’ve just signed up. Now what?
